Editorial
It is only six more days until
ChristmaB. We have only a week's
vacation. We can get our fill of
good things during that time.
Seriously, though, we should start
unpacking our good will spirit, if
we haven't already done so. The
old Christmas carols are being
sung, the trees being decorated,
and the Christmas list made out.
The girls should start the Christ
mas candy, too. It's easier to buy
It, but much more fun to make it.
There Is so much to do for Christ
mas that these next six days will
be very busy for everyone.
We should not think of Christmas
time as just a time for giving and
receiving gifts, having a good time,
aind eating. We should all remem
ber that it is the birthday of our
Lord, Jesus Christ. It is a time
for reverence and good will. One
thousand nine hundred and thirty-
five years ago the blessed Christ
was born. He has lived, in spirit,
down through these twenty cen
turies. The celebration of his birth
has unfortunately changed during
this long period. It isn't merely
an occasion for having a good time.
We should try to make the birthday
of Christ what It should be. As the
angels sang, let us also sing:
"Peace on earth, good will toward
men."

Announcement ;
' The annual Christmas, vacation
for the Heppner school has been
announced by the school board as
starting December 20 and ending
December 30. There will be no
school on New Year's day, but the
students will attend on the other
days of the week.

Adult Education
Classes for adult education are
going to be held shortly after the
beginning of the new year. Gordon
Bucknum will handle these classes.
Some of the subjects to be given
are physical education, public
speaking, mathematics and sociol
ogy. These classes should be a
benefit to the community, and it
is hoped that the people will show
interest by attending.
H.H.8.
White Christmas
A student body meeting was call
ed Monday to decide upon what
kind of high school Christmas to
have. It was decided that more
were in favor of a White Christmas
than of drawing names. In a White
Christmas all the members of the
student body bring either jellies,
canned goods, or things which may
be used by needy families. These
gifts are given to the needy famil
ies of this city. Last year we had
the White Christmas and it was a
great help to families and also a
pleasure to those that gave the
presents. It Is hoped that this
year's will be just as successful.

EES,
Benzine Ring Banquet
Last week was a busy time for
the Benzine .Ring members. The
food committees, decoration com
mittees and various other groups
at work in preparation for the ban
quet that was held last Thursday
evening, made it very enjoyable for
those who attended.
One of the agreements decided
upon before the banquet was that
each girl member invite a boy
friend, and each male member in
vite a girl friend for the evening.
Those that thought it would be too
embarrassing to do so would have
to don aprons and do the dishes
after the dinner was over with.
Each member was given a certain
part of the menu to bring or buy,
so as to make the affair wholly the
work of the Benzine Ring.
At six-thirty guests and members
assembled in the basement of the
school house, where the banquet
was held, and watched the last
minute touches of the big dinner.
The dining room was decorated
with red and green crepe paper
streamers. A large cone-shaped
hat was made for each member,
and the place cards were of Ben
zine Ring effect. The napkins had
a Christmas design, which blended
very well with the decorations.
Jimmy Driscoll, as toastmaster,
gave the welcoming speech to the
twenty-five guests and members
present Everyone then' "loaded"
his plate with tempting food. Nonie
McLaughlin started the program
with a epeech in which she repre
sented a candidate for the Demo
cratic party. Don Turner then
came back with his speech for the
Republican party. Both speeches
were made up of foolish platforms
and sayings. Ernest Clark enter
tained' with a speech that informed
us that he was chosen by a popu
lar vote of the people to make up a
new political party with a name too
long to remember. Mr. Pevey
who says he Isn't a good sport was
next on the program. He left the
room and returned with a some
thing on his head that looked like
an ice pack and about half a dozen
test tubes. He represented some
famous magician that was going
to demonstrate the process of
changing water into wine. First,
mumbling a few words which no
one could understand, he went
through a few motions. Of course,
the water remained the same. He
tried this three times in a very hu
morous manner, but each time the
water failed to make any changes.
This brought a great roar of laugh
ter and applause from the audience.
Bernard McMurdo and La Verne
Van Marter performed a trick
which left the audience guessing.
The banquet was brought to an end
by the singing of various songs led
by Mr. Pevey.

. . . . Thieves Upon Us
Many years ago Seneca the phil
osopher said: "There is nothing we
can properly call our own but our
time, yet always somebody is cheat
ing us out of it. If a man borrows
money there must be bonds and se
curities, and it is reasonable to ex
pect him to pay it back. If we are
robbed of our clothes there are
laws for the punishment of the
thief, but he that helps himself to
my time thinks that he owes me
nothing for it, though he has taken
something that even gratitude can
not repay."
Poor Seneca. You can just see
him getting up early to put in some
good licks on one of his books, only
to have a chance acquaintance
burst in with the merry quip: "Was
just passing by and thought I'd
drop in for a chat " He grew rich
and had plenty of servants, but this,
he discovered, involved time out
for sad stories from his. wife on
why she just couldn't, get on with
the cook. More possessions meant
more papers to sign; added income
meant added worry and all at the
expense of time.
When the Emperor Nero, who
had been his pupil, grew jealous of
Seneca's popularity and sent him
orders to end his life, the philoso
pher received the message stoical
ly. He gathered his friends around
and said that, since he was de
prived of the privilege of distribut
ing his possesions among them, he
would leave them the only thing
remaining to him the pattern of
his life. Possibly the pangs of
death were somewhat assuaged by
the thought that he was going
where he could have plenty of time.
Doctors charge for their time.
Lawyers charge so much for theirs
that nobody goes to see a lawyer if
he can help it But the rest of us
are more or lesa at the mercy of
time-thieves. Busy people, since
Seneca's day and even before, have
protested that "there ought to be
a law." But so far nothing has
been done.
. . Sins Are Perplexing
General Evangeline Booth has is
sued a declaration of war against
sin, to continue until December 31,
1936, though why this particular
closing date is selected she does
not explain. Miss Booth asks Sal
vation Armies in all countries to
cooperate, and she names specific
ally the following Forces that are
to be attacked: Greed, hypocrisy,
immorality, gambling, blasphemy,
malice, hatred, murder, theft, cant,
jealousy, cowardice, fashion, pride,
conceit, self-consciousness, and ly
ing. These Bad Actors have been a
part of the human drama practic
ally from the beginning. The pro
posal to tear them out by their
roots from the human spirit, all
within the space of twelve months,
is a magnificent testimony to the
courage of Miss Booth, but success
is problematical.
Perplexing questions arise imme
diately. Who shall define precisely
what is and what is not a sin
"Pride and fashion," for example,
are these necessarily sinful? Pride
frequently is a powerful influence
in keeping people on the straight
and narrow; fashion is one of the
most inveterate enemies of unem
ployment. Many sins are merely
virtues over-grown and distorted.
Greed may be exaggerated thrift;
the line between devotion and jeal
ousy is often slender, as is the di
vision between self-respect and
conceit
Sin probably will take much of a
beating from organized wars, an
nounced by manifests. Its only
real foe, however, is the slow evo
lution of the individual conscience.
Burns said: "Thine own reproach
alone do fear." Men who adopt this
motto sometimes do things that
hurt themselves, but they do not
often hurt other people.

Financial Statements
Topic for Radio Talks
What is an "asset?" What is a
"liability?" What do "Assets de
ferred through operation," and all
other terms in the usual financial
statement mean?
To the person versed in the lan
guage of the accountant they are
quite simple, of course, but to the
average man they mean practically
nothing, although there are many
occasions when he could use such
knowledge to advantage.
For the benefit of those who some
times borrow money from banks,
attend meetings of cooperative as
sociations, boards of directors, and
similar organizations, or find other
occasions where a workable know
ledge of the meanings of items in
a financial statement would be of
value, Paul Carpenter, extension
economist at O. S. C, is preparing
a series of radio talks over KOAC,
in which he will take a financial
statement and tear it to pieces,
showing his listeners what it is
made of and what the different
items mean. He will explain,
among other things, what the bank
wants in the statement it requires
of every person to whom it makes
loans.
